I have brought this up a few times in the past but I'll mention it again. Just because someone has strong support online means nothing. The vast majority of people that visit forums on a regular basis is in the 18-29 demographic. This also happens to be the age demographic with the lowest voter turnout. So just because someone isn't mentioned on a sig in a forum means nothing. There is still a very religious demographic among the elderly and this just happens to be the demographic who fairly consistently has the highest voter turnout. So just because Santorum doesn't have a strong internet presence doesn't mean he doesn't have a large group of supporters.
This is a concept many Ron Paul supporters don't seem to understand. The people that participate in online forums represent a small demographic. The people that participate in online polls are a small demographic. Just because a candidate does well online doesn't mean that translates to reality. Just because a candidate does poorly online doesn't mean that translates to reality. While I may disagree with most of what Santorum says apparently it resonates with a silent majority of GOP voters.

Oh right, and all of those Ron Paul supporters infiltrating the GOP the every level and organizing & becoming delegates for Ron Paul in every state, no they can't be actual Ron Paul supporters because it isn't online. You didn't hear? Ron Paul had over 14,000 REAL-LIFE PEOPLE see him speak over the last week. None of the presidential candidates can say the same. 3000 REAL-LIFE PEOPLE waiting in the snow to see him in Idaho. IDAHO!
LOL, get over it...
MEANWHILE IN REAL LIFE.......
Oh yea, and...Ron Paul doesn't only do well with the 18-29 voting age bracket...he owns the 18-45 voting age bracket.
You and your ignorance are so silly.
